I might have talked about this in a previous post, but Dens is wanting me to empty out my bank account because he thinks that the less money I have the more "disabled" I will look and it will increase my chances of getting SSI faster lmfao. Of course, this is... most likely not the case, but originally he was going to have me just go to the bank and take out all the money immediately, but I told it would look suspicious if suddenly all the money was gone. But really I just didn't want to take the money out :P

Then today there was a dead opossum in our garage so we called a wildlife expert to remove it. Well, we didn't know if it was dead or asleep and didn't want to risk waking it up and scaring it into the attic or something weird like that. But yeah, that cost $200 for them to come pick it up and take it away. So I offered to pay for that, as the first thing to empty some money out, so hopefully he won't bug me about taking money out for a while.

But the main reason I wanna keep money is because there's lots of goodies coming out soon. We've got RetroMania Wrestling, Harvest Moon: One World, Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town, and Rune Factory 5 all coming out in the first half of this year, and SaGa Frontier Remastered coming out in Summer. So I need my munnies. I've already preordered Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons. I kinda tweeted that I wasn't going to get HM since it's not including same-sex marriage, but... oops.

I don't know what I'm going to do with the other stimulus check(s) that will come in the future. I don't really NEED money right away, so I might just take them out in cash and give it to Dens.

If (when????) I get onto SSI, I'm going to start 'paying my way around here,' paying for the phones and internet and chipping in on the mortgage and stuff like that, basically using up all the money, but freeing up some of Dens's money. If I have extra, since disabled people aren't allowed to save money, I'll start getting into collecting again, I guess? Or put it back into Twitch or something.

But yeah, that's a long road ahead, and I don't want to be counting any chickens.

Which reminds me I need to get back to playing Friends of Mineral Town...

I've been obsessively playing mobile games, which I need to get away from but... the thing is I really like mobile games hahaha. They're easy to stay attached to, and they require little effort and a lot can play themsevles, which is good for depressive episodes when you have low motivation and manic episodes when you have low concentration, but you still want to keep yourself "busy" and feel like you're accomplishing something.

The problem is that they eat up a ton of time, because they require you to grind all day to accomplish your goals unless you want to spend $3000 a month on them. And even if you DO spend money on them, they still reel you in with daily missions and timers and stuff to prey on your FOMO.

But yeah, what I've been playing (with videos!):

So, I'm finally back on the Disability Application Train. I called the SS office today and got an appointment to apply for Supplemental Security. Alarmingly, the appointment is tomorrow. That gives me no time to recuperate from making a phone call today. So I'm going to struggle quite a bit tomorrow. Today after making the call to schedule the appointment I felt so exhausted I laid down to play Birdie Crush and ended up falling asleep for 3 hours. For the rest of the day, I haven't had the energy to do much of anything so I've been kinda sitting here staring at at the wall (well kinda at the corner of a painting) while I let Birdie Crush auto-play itself.

I finally drudged up the energy to type this out though and I'm feeling a little better. Now I moved over to Dragon Quest Tact. Wouldn't life be grand if I could do something more than watch a phone game play itself?? Actually, I'm not even really doing that because watching the screen while it plays is kind of overstimulating so I'm just kinda staring off into space while it plays and checking in on it now and then lololol. At least I feel like I'm getting something done. I also made the bed and washed dishes today (and even managed to wash dishes AFTER making the call) so it's not like I've just been playing phone games but... I've pretty much just been playing phone games. And sleeping.

And well, I made the call. That was like The Thing for the day anyway.

Since I want to keep myself active (and by active, I mean not just sitting still and glaring at inanimate objects) I shall write about the mobile games I've been playing.

... Just kidding. I started, but I don't think I can concentrate enough. Even though I'm typing this??? But writing more detailed reviews is somehow harder.

Everyone should play Birdie Crush though. It's like anime golf with fantasy elements and there's a really hot principal. And then come join my club because we desperately need members.

Also, Palais de Reine apparently got localized. Weird obscure PS2 game from 2006 is now in English on Steam???????? I actually have the PS2 disc, and always really liked that game but the language barrier was pretty rough on it (even knowing Japanese, it was kinda difficult to understand at points, and you're just overwhelmed with text so it took a lot of energy to muster through and energy is not something I have in large quantities lol).

But that means I can date Diektor now IN ENGLISH. But really all you have to do is fail at the game, as getting with Diektor is the failure condition :P But I love him anyway. I think it's possible to successfully romance him and get a different story path where you marry him but it's not the 'failure' type. But I'm not 100% sure since that game has a lot going on and I never got all the way through it.
